Away Fans' Guide | Bradford City

Important Notice To Supporters

We wish to remind supporters of the importance of adhering to opposition ground regulations at all away games. These are standard practice across all EFL grounds, specifically in relation to the use of pyrotechnics, missile throwing and pitch incursions. 

Pyrotechnics and objects, or missiles specifically, can cause serious injury or harm. 

Any incidents of this nature will be investigated and could lead to sanctions being applied by Plymouth Argyle, the football authorities, or the Police.

Please also remain courteous when inside the stadium, with regards to foul and abusive language. If you do hear anything offensive while inside the stadium, please report it to your nearest steward. Tragedy chanting and discriminatory abuse of any kind is not tolerated.

If the match officials hear any abusive or discriminatory chanting during the game, they hold the right to suspend the game, taking the players off the field until further notice.

We would like to remind supporters that the strongest condemnation is employed towards discriminatory abuse, tragedy chanting, anti-social behaviour, crowd disorder and misconduct, and illegal activity inside football stadia.

Our stance on the above will ensure the strongest possible action continues to be taken against those found guilty of any offence, including the issuing of Football Banning Orders.
